Favourite children's film- conventions

Th Lion King




This is one of our groups favourite children's film. It sets the scene of the film and introduce the characters to the audience. It also introduces the main theme of the film in both the opening song and in the images that is shown on the screen which is the 'circle of life' which helps the children learn the morales of the film which are the importance of family as they stay together at the end of the film and about not being greedy as scar leaves nobody else any food and the effects of this are shown. The opening sequence also introduces us to the idea of status in the film. this is due to the fact that all of the animals have come to welcome the Simba. The opening sequence also incorporates lots of bright colours so as to attract the attention and stimulate the minds of the young audience. the opening clip contains no dialogue and the sound used in the clip is non diagetic music and sounds that the animals make which is educational for young audiences as it helps them learn the noises each animal makes.
